Please read the following section carefully. To begin the submissions process, register for an Open Journal Systems (OJS) account through the menu item above. Once you are on the registration form, please ensure that you fill in all fields denoted with a star (*) as well as the “Bio Statement” and a complete mailing address. Canadian Literature asks that all contributors provide a short biography (50 to 100 words), which may include a list of previous publications or context for your work. We also require your complete mailing address in order to process publishing agreements, honorariums, offprints, and so on. Also note that you will not be able to submit works through OJS unless you register as an Author. Reader and reviewer registration is optional, but you will not be able to submit articles, book reviews, poems, or other works unless you select “Author: Able to submit items to the journal.” This field can be found towards the bottom of the registration form, seen here.

Please feel free to contact us at can.lit@ubc.ca if you have any questions or concerns about the registration process. We look forward to receiving and reviewing your work.
